560 People Are Playing Black Ops II Online on the Wii U Right Now

Kotaku - Call of Duty: Black Ops II is now out on the Wii U. It's just not being played online that much. Too many people still at work or in school? Console too new? People drawn to other Wii U games? Everyone distracted by the surprisingly terrific Miiverse?

Are you saying that the majority of ppl who intend to play this game on wii u are children getting it as a gift from their parents? i doubt parents will buy this game for kids if they even know this system exists yet..

I doubt many wii u owners will play games beyond 1st party offerings but if there is a high selling 3rd party title, this would be it.. It can sell on any platform for some odd reason

The line where I was at there was this child who had been waiting there since 5pm (I've NO idea how he convinced his parents, seemed like a nice kid, but he might've been spoiled). Needless to say he was the only child there out of 8 people in line.

Yeah the game is 60 bucks and for you not to enjoy the game is just plain stupid. I dont know about you guys but i buy my games to play them instead of sitting in front of my PC posting in N4G and calling the day one prestige no lifers.

Maybe its because the wii had watered down ports and now wiiu has the definitive version its going to be word of mouth and not to mention the wiiu has been out a day so 560 players is good Vita gamers cant find any1 online ? Plus wiiu is only out in the US wait for Europe and UK ect there will be 10,000 online come christmas and tht number will climb when gamers see that if u want the smoothest ride its on wiiu.

Most people bought 2-4 games. I'll be checking the in console stats out any way of other games. A lot of other games where bought also. On top of it all lots of wii gamers play the story out first. Online is for boredom.

i think nobody bought the wiiu because of black ops 2, everybody already have ps3 and 360 for it(DUH) most WIIU people now are playing nintendo lands and new super mario U, remember how well NSMB sold on wii

I love the way Kotaku keeps putting up anti Nintendo articles they just love hating on nintendo the console has been out 2 days s... Give it time thats whats wrong with game sites theses days even the journalist are fan boys / trolls I got mines on sunday and I'm surprised at how great the screen quality is the games look like there in 1080p on the wiipad when there not And I got call of duty on 360 and wii u and wii u version looks and plays better

I still think that age is a little high. I was playing the other day and had my life threatened. The kid said thank god I didn't live in Ohio, but I told him I did and I am from the columbus area. He got real quiet real fast after he found out we were less than 10 miles apart.

Calm down guys. 48 hours in and we're talking about stuff like this? Also, Kotaku really should check to see how many reviews Black Ops 2 has on the eShop or how many people are talking about it on Miiverse, because it's much bigger than the 560 number

If I'd just bought a new system, the last game I'd be looking to play is a port of a game I've been playing the last 5 years. Plus, you want to play COD with friends, more likely to find more of them still on PC/PS3/360.

Those are lame excuse Halo 4, BLOPS 2 both lunched during the week & both had tons of people online playing, this makes me think they over hyped it or thought everyone that had a wii was going to run out to buy a Wii U or people who had already plyed these games were going to rush to get a console w/ launch titels that are ports .
